Default Farewell All...

I went 0-7 today. I picked 0% in the NFL. I could have coin flipped and did better. I have realized what a monster gambling has turned me into and am calling it quits before i honestly get myself in more then i can handle. My whole personality has changed lately ive lost myself and cant take who i've become. My life revolves around gambling and i hate it. I tried money management, it doesnt work for me. I am never up enough, and i can always get down more. I thank you guys for all the help you have given me throughout my capping and keeping me from getting tooo under!! Happy Holidays

Best of luck kicking the habit man...

I know what you mean with money management. It takes the thrill out of it, even if it is the smart way to gamble.

I hope you find a way to get away from it until you are ready to bring it back in healthy doses, if at all.

Happy holidays.

Cut your bets in half, not worth the stress when too much money is on the line.

Oh **** you, you ****ing pansy!! You lost some bets, so ****ing what!! I lost $800 today, but it would've been $1,300 without the Giants coming through! I was way down, so I went large on the G-men. Here's what i didn't do: cry and bitch and belly-ache. **** you, if you make six figures then you should re-load and be a ****ing man! You ****ing bitch!

Put half of your six figures on Rashad Evans @ -105 (UFC next SAT)

Put the other half on Rampage Jackson @-105 (UFC next SAT)

This will make you happy and get you back on track for the playoff and the Bowl Season

I went 1-6 yesterday and 0-6 today. I would have been 1 game away from a 13 game parlay if I parlayed the other way, all the bets I placed. Whelp bud, if you ever decide to wager again, just pm me and we can fade eachother. We could retire in a year or two

Just bet 5-8 team parlays for fun, it keeps the thrill of gambling in your blood with very little risk.

We have all been there. Sometimes you have to step away for couple of weeks and start back seeing the games without all the headache.

The NFL has definitely roughed people up as of late. I know I've pissed away most of my NFL winnings in the last few weeks....but that is how it goes.

It seems that Gamblor has enslaved you also. Good luck. It is a hard habit to kick.

Gamblor.....lol.

Ironically some of the "lesser" known stuff pays the best....I would do movie premiers (though they were always capped....boo!!), 2nd and 3rd rate Russian tennis matches, Div IAA football, etc.

Dude, just follow my NCAAB picks. You will be fine. I was 11-1 yesterday in NCAAB.

Traditionally "lesser" leagues/conferences/games have a greater chance for an advantageous line than a big time match up. I-AA use to make me some good cash. I focus on certain Conferences now and I cherry pick larger schools now, but I always keep an eye out for a wonky line on a smaller game.

As for movie premiers....it is much easier to get information about test audience reviews and the feeling in Hollywood about viability of a movie. It is a bit harder with "big" movies....but with some digging and a bit of number crunching (looking at per screen average gross, competition, etc) you can find some advantageous lines. They cap the action, but $100 here, $250 there, etc can add up.

I'll check you out. I am just getting back into CBB after a few years, and I am still trying to get a feel for the games. The Ov/Un is what I'm having the most trouble with. I've scratched out a winning record, but I don't feel as confident in my picks yet.
